Personally? I do the latter -- it's all the integrity I can come up with
when I see all that epoxy disappearing into what can sometimes seem like a
bottomless pit. Besides, I've always found it interesting while driving a
pin down in one area to observe another pin an octave or so away start to
pop up. But then I'm easily entertained.
